I left and got two Sr SWE positions within 3 months. It’s like the 90’s down here
Where did you land? How much paperwork was involved in the transition?
Dual citizen with Australia, sorry. Though it is fairly light paperwork for Americans who are in tech - as in the U.S., the best chances are to get in stateside with a big company that has an Aussie HQ (Atlassian, Xero, Canva, FAANG, etc.) and then transfer
That explains it being like the 90s. That's Australia in general. New Zealand is more like the 70s.
Ah, I see what you mean now. Thanks. I’m trying to get my employer to allow me to relocate to the UK as they have an office there (putting aside Brexit and all the stupid decisions of late they have been making). It’s an uphill battle where at any point someone could veto the decision because they don’t want to have to deal with the headache. I need a bigger company that is willing to go the distance with the legal hoops. That’s usually a massive company like the ones you mention as opposed to a smaller companies that I tend to work for.
